After our trip, we knew we had to get some huckleberry picking in since the berries were almost ready when we left. The spot that we usually go to had been picked over already, so we had to hunt for a new spot. It wasn't as good as our regular spot, but we still were able to pick about a gallon or so in about 2 and a half hours.
The kids had a great time. Ethan brought his friend, Baey, who had never been picking before. Jacob had fun eating all he could see and Asia did the same. They had fun exploring and playing tag in the mountains. Mia rode in the "Mini Me" backpack and Mike accidentally scratched her face all up when he went to bend down to pick. Ooops. TWICE!! Needless to say, we took her out of the backpack and she was content to eat leaves and dirt the rest of the time.
Here's Mia with her face all scratched up but still a smile on her face! What a sweet girl.
Anyway, now we can have huckleberry pancakes, milkshakes, ice cream, jam, etc. etc. etc. Yummy!

okay you are going to think I am such a blonde. I never knew it was an actual berry. I always thought it was a combination of strawberry, and raspberry.
I wish I had some huckleberry jam right now!! Yummy!
Love the picture of Mia in the backpack! Her expression is priceless, like someone help me!
